Default GSR or LS VTEC?

Hey what's up .. I'm buying a Integra GSR soon, but it's kind of hard finding the one I want. So i'm considering buying a LS and making it a LS VTEC. What do I need to convert my LS to vtec? would it be cheaper to just buy the GSR? what benifits do I get from a LS Vtec over a GSR? thanks

GSR has much more potential.. It would be cheaper to deal with and not much of a hassle.. you can always turbo it.. etc.. look on the search.. you'll find alot of talk on ls vtec

For maximum reliability, always keep your engine setup as close to factory specs as possible. Despite all of the hype, LS/vtec is not very reliable. The GSR is tried and proven, and it will not dissapoint you.

LSVTEC is much more difficult to do properly than most people think. I posted some pretty helpful links a few months ago...should show up under a search. Stick with a GSR if you can.

LS/VTEC is a nice set up if you have some ones to build it right and the money because its not going to be cheap. I would go with the GSR much more reliable and it has just as much potential if not more than LS/VTEC. just my two cents.

JUST A GENERAL QUESTION, WHERE DO YOU PEOPLE WORK TO GET THE MONEY TO BUY GSR AND SHIT LIKE THAT. OR DO YOUR PARENTS BUY IT FOR YOU?

If you stick in there long enough and are willing to travel, you can find the gsr for you.
